DATE: October 22, 1991 �as �� County
SUBJECT: Martinez Detention Facility, M-Module and
F-Module Remodeling Claim Settlement
Specific Request(s) or Recommendations(s) &<Background & Justification
RECOMMENDATION:
AUTHORIZE the Director, Justice System Programs to execute a claim settlement change
order for the Martinez Detention Facility, M-Module and F-Module Remodeling
construction contract.
FINANCIAL. IMPACT:
None beyond the budgeted current forecast for project completion.
REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION/BACKGROUND-
The Director, Justice System Programs has been given the authority to sign individual
change orders up to a limit of $25,000 each. Change Orders exceeding $25,000 require
Board authorization.
During construction, the Contractor notified the County of its intent to file claims
dealing with denied compensation for change work performed, subcontractor claims and
the multiplicity of clarifications. Combined, the Contractor's estimate of these
issues totaled $96,400. A series of negotiating meetings were held in August and
September 1991 resulting in a mutually agreed upon proposed settlement of $50,000.
Also, the Contractor was granted a time extension until April 26, 1991, the
established date of substantial construction completion. The Construction Manager
believes this agreement to be a fair and reasonable settlement. In addition to the
settlement terms listed above, the Contractor has also agreed to indemnify and hold
the County harmless for any future claims that might be made by any project
subcontractors, suppliers or laborers. This settlement has been reviewed with, and
cleared by, County Counsel.
